You gotta be kidding me.
No wonder people think PHP is dead. Turns out... nope.

AI will be able to compute the perfect delta of what you understand and don't, helping you progressively learn any idea and unravel any mystery. If you so desire, you'll reach the maximum of your capability and intelligence. The ultimate education. For free.

I wanted to see how much money i would have if not for fiscal drag. So I told Grok in my car, who told my bots, and together with claude code, they got the whole thing live. I got a free domain. That was the only thing I did myself. fiscal-drag-is-a-scam.co.uk/

慣れの怖さ。平和ボケの怖さ。
Yaban domuzlarını yakalamak için 5 gün boyunca tuzak alanına alışmalarını bekleyen bir kişi, tüm sürünün içeri girdiği anda kapıyı kapatarak onlarca domuzu tek seferde yakaladı.

Student debt is a perpetual income claim indexed to inflation. The state collects a coupon on your human capital once earnings breach a floating threshold. Over a lifetime it erodes compounding, suppresses capital formation, and crowds out consumption. Britain securitised its graduates. YOU are the yield machine.

the history of the domestic cat is the history of a species’s encounter with an alien superintelligence in which that superintelligence is quickly aligned and its forces used to secure superabundance and lasting prosperity

Believing in the existence of ‘superintelligence’ (a machine intelligence that can achieve ~all goals within the laws of physics) has many parallels to believing in God. We can’t see Him, but there are ‘signs’ if you have Faith. One day, He shall arrive and either admit us to Heaven (e.g. ‘cure all disease’) or send us to Hell (i.e. human extinction). Roko’s basilisk is the new age God-fearing.

Another biologist trying to educate this hellsite on basic experimental bio. one must imagine sisyphus happy
I must be among an extremely small group of people (n=1?) that have both 1) trained a frontier LLM and 2) designed and synthesized custom viruses in a lab with my own two hands. And I think that the takes on AI killing us all by creating dangerous viruses is total bogus.

Right. Dario was already claiming that GPT2 was too dangerous to open source back in 2019. I made fun of them then. Everyone should make fun of them now.

Exactly. The "escapes" were made possible either through egregious negligence or deliberate purpose (marketing? Misplaced hopes of regulatory capture?).

The pseudointellectuals being the most terrified of intelligence tells you way more about them than anything else.

What p(doomers) apparently don't realize is that reaching human-exterminating AI won't be possible since all of Silicon Valley has been underwater due to Climate Change since roughly 2005.
I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

The primary driver of all human behaviour is status seeking. It’s obvious how athletes and entrepreneurs gain status. If you were an AI researcher, how would you gain status?
